Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

"Thank you for your patience.Let's start with the Bacon Egg Sandwich and the American Coffee Set.... and here's a pancake and matcha latte set.The accompanying white vial is maple syrup and the black vial is lenge honey.Use as much as you like with small plates of butter.Pancake plates, very hot.In that regard, please enjoy it carefully. "

"Thank you."

"Oh, it's cold. It's empty, can I have it?

Carrying an order to a pair of tables presumed to be a 30-year-old couple sitting at the table, he noticed the empty glass and called out.

When the husband sitting in front of him nodded lightly with a little thought, he said to the clerk, Mao.

"Can I have it?

"Well, I'll bring it to you right away.I'll leave the slip here. "

With a faint smile on his face, he lowered his head slightly and the bush leaves the table.

While recalling the nearest pitcher location, I tried to walk there as fast as I felt.

"Oh, I'll go.On the other side, the meal is almost over, so please register. "

"Nh, I see.Then please. "

Stop the walking bush and Mayumi walks to the couple waiting for water with a sweaty pitcher made of steel.

Instead, Mao passed between the seats, while neatly arranging the chair that was a little disturbed and heading towards the cash register.

"Um...."

Yes, I'm coming.

As Mayumi expected, a group of male college students stood up to the cashier and called out as they saw the bushes approaching.

This time, it is not thin, but receives the slip presented with a clear smile and enters the cash register so that it can flow.

"... is it okay for you all to join me in the accounting?

"Ah, it's okay.I'll pay for it all together. "

"I see. That's 2,755 yen."

When the total amount was communicated, the first man placed three bills and coins on the accounting plates of Jalajara and the counter.

"... I'll keep it for 3,305 yen.Here's the receipt for the change: 550 yen. "

"Thank you for your meal."

When he receives the change and sticks it in his pocket, he leaves the store with a light greeting.

Ringing the doorbell and calling out to the group of college students.

Thank you very much.

After confirming that the college students had left the shop, Mao turned to the back and took the cart and cloth to the table, lowering the remaining dishes.

Feel the signs behind you and look back when you put everything from the table onto the cart.

I'll take it.

"Oh, please."

Mayumi receives a reply from Mao and takes the dish-filled cart to the kitchen.

Looking at it, Mao carefully wipes the table with a cloth.

Slowly and thoroughly wipe the table with small breadcrumbs spilled from the toast and salad dressing.

I think people who have done this kind of work will know, but it is better to wipe it slowly and thoroughly than to wipe it quickly.

Cleaning up quickly on the surface may show signs of a person eating a full meal after the table has dried.

Whether or not to wipe the table again in that case is up to the discretion of the individual and the store, but I think that as a lumberjack, we should provide comfortable meal time for customers who pay for it.

Because of this idea, even if it was necessary to do it quickly, I decided to wipe it with force.

It makes sense that no human wants to eat at a dirty table.

"... Phew, did some customers come out?"

Fold the cloth gently and release it from the hole.

The time is slightly past ten thirty.Morning mornings are almost over, and it's time for more and more people to enjoy a cup of coffee and relax.

In other words, it will be a small time slot until lunchtime starts at noon.

This is the timing of the shift change between the early shift and the midday shift.

The handover staff is also in the hall, and for the time being, it can be said that the part-time work from the morning of the bush has come to an end.

"Thank you very much.... it looks like the customer has come quite a bit.It must have been hard, huh?

"What? Store manager, are you back?I thought you said you weren't here all day on a business trip.

Returning to the staff space, you will find Ito sitting on a staff table set.

He is wearing his usual clothes and relaxing his coffee in one hand.

"Even if you go out for a meeting, it's in the neighboring prefecture.I contacted Sugiyama-kun because I thought I couldn't get back early in the morning, but the meeting itself was almost over yesterday, and the various contacts were cleared up immediately today.If you use it at high speed, it'll be about this much time. "

You didn't have to come home in such a hurry.

"But I don't have much to do over there.I bought a souvenir, so I thought I'd give it to everyone in time. "

In front of the moo sitting in the chair, a sweet with the so-called "souvenir” wrapped in a paper box is served.

Mao picks one wrapped piece of it.

"Sorry for bothering you.... did everyone else eat it?

While expressing gratitude to Ito, I checked the situation around.

The early colleagues nodded with a light laugh.

"Hmm... Well then, I'll take it."

Ah!

Without hesitation, Ito broke the package and shouted to the bush that threw it into his mouth.

In that state, the question mark floats.

The sound of cracking the cookie dough thrown into your mouth.This is the moment when I felt the sweetness of the shark sugar covered on the surface and the sweetness of the fabric itself, and thought, "Ah, this is my favorite category.”

The paste-like filling that I would have prepared inside touches my tongue.

The instant, sudden appearance, the taste of the tongue.No, it was rather pain.

"Spicy!!?

As she screamed, she rushed to the water server that was set aside for a break. She took the water to the pourer's mouth by the name of a paper cup and washed her entire tongue with water. She drank two glasses in a row.

"... hey, it's sold to the general public, and I was wondering if it's okay."

"What is it!?No, what kind of punishment game is this!?

For convenience, pour a third cup of water to moisturize the chin and tongue.

It is a souvenir of Ito that is as spicy as it is dramatic.If you look closely, the colour of the packaging is slightly different.It's a package with a bright red base in the hands of the Mao.

The rows next to them are orange, yellow, pale green, and light blue.

"Find something unusual.No, it looks like a new product, so I couldn't wait to buy it.Look, it's boring to be a classic. "

"... please try this kind of adventure on your own first"

When he found the wrapper, thinking it was wrapped in a carton, Mao took it in his hand.

It has the texture of pela and Japanese paper, and it says, "Five colors of bright flavor to you ~ Five fresh mochi ~".Probably means five intensely flavoured pancakes.

"Is the red coming off?No, I ate it before I explained it.... you should have given it to me after explaining it. "

"... my tongue feels tingling."

A fierce counterpunch of intense spiciness on the tongue, which was alarmed by sweetness.

The gap hurts my body.With that capsaicin thing, sweat floats all over my forehead.

Speaking of which, I remember.

Ito is a man who has a lot of gambling ideas when choosing souvenirs.

"Light blue mint, green green matcha, yellow lemon.Orange is orange and red is habanero.It seems that people who ate other colors tasted really good. "

"... the Russian Wheel.Manufacturer, are you stupid?

"No, I think it's pretty serious.... I'm sure he wanted to have a different impact. "

"As a result, it's a disaster in my mouth."

"That's where I tried to get word of mouth, maybe."

Um, Ito nods.

After the unexpected damage, Mao healed his tongue with water and warm brown tea.

"Well then, let's make it dull.Thanks again tomorrow!

A man who leaves Camado in the Forest through the entrance and exit for employees.

It is Shigeru Sugiyama in private clothing.

I broke up with Mayumi Garcia, a girl who waved her hand and came out in the same way, and two Elaina who were waiting for it.

Mayumi leaves the back of the shop as if she were working as a director in a car, and Mao returns to her expression and walks in the opposite direction.

I walked about ten meters when I came.

The bush stopped waiting for a signal at the intersection and started looking at the screen with its smartphone out of its pocket.

The sight of a normal man just waiting for a signal to crush time.

There's nothing strange about it, that sight.

Target movement confirmed.It seems to be heading home or towards the station. "

"... we will begin the operation as originally planned.Everyone, please do not be alarmed.... gaze, walk, unnatural behavior, everything. "

Copy that.

A crossroads everywhere in Japan.

A man in everyday clothes standing there.

Several eyes staring at it from afar emitted a strong light.
